5.0 out of 5 stars I will never tire of this book., 7 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: A Rose in Winter (Mass Market Paperback)
This is Kathleen Woodiwiss at her very best.A must read for all historical romance fans. I have read this book so many times I have lost count. The characters are wonderful ,lots of sexual tension as well as witty banter between the two of them. The flame and the flower and The Wolf and the Dove are also excellent books ,but this is the best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reasonably entertaining (but predictable) Beauty and the Beast Plot, 7 Feb 2008
By Misfit (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Rose in Winter (Paperback)
Erienne Fleming's father, the hard drinking and gambling mayor of their northern England town needs to sell her in marriage to the highest bidder to pay off his gambling debts. Handsome Yankee Christopher Seton wants Erienne, but since Christian is the one he owes the greatest debt to, Christian is banned from bidding for her hand. Instead, Erienne's hand is purchased by the mysterious Lord of Saxton who was horribly injured and scarred for life in a fire. Erienne is as first horrified by her new husband's appearance and fights her growing attraction to Christopher at the same time and thus begins KEW's take on the Beauty and the Beast.

Unfortunately, as much fun as KEW's romances can be to read, this book has some major flaws. The big twist in the plot is pretty easy to figure out. In fact, almost everything in the book is pretty easy to figure out. The bad guys were inept and almost cartoonish in their bad deeds. Erienne is supposed to be intelligent and well educated, but her initial reactions to her disfigured husband just don't ring true, Stuart was nothing but kindness itself and a very gentle and loving husband. She was always running off and getting herself into a pickle so that Christopher could rescue her, and it got to be just a tad bit over the top that every man in the book was dying to jump her bones.

All in all, not the worst in the historical romance genre, but far from the best either and certainly not one of KEW's better efforts (which would be Ashes in the Wind), but well suited for a rainy Sunday afternoon easy on the brain type of fluff. I'm sorely torn between a two and three star rating, so I'm calling it at 2.5 stars rounded it up to three.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Rose in Winter (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read this book probably at least 10 times and every time I read it it's a whole new experience for me... I've read (and I own) ALL her books and this is one of my favourite ..
I recommend it to read it - you won't regret it.
